Captain On the Deck

How did I get up here? My mind is wandering cause mummy had to disappear Leaving me with her red umbrella with white spots It reminds me of my favourite lolly-pop What is this water passing me by? It seems to be falling from the sky The drops clattering above my head As I look through the umbrella they seem to be coloured red There’s a rainbow over there like the one in my favourite book The one mummy reads about Captain Hook I feel like I’m captain of my ship standing on this bench Fighting the pirates and taking my revenge The grass is waving like the stormiest sea With waves crashing into the bench trying to drown me But they will not win because I am the captain of this ship My red and white spotted umbrella will be used as my bargaining chip I can see mummy coming from afar to save me I can see her beautiful dress being blown carefree By the howling wind blowing all around To save me and crew from running aground Finished 3rd place in Red and White Polka Dot Umbrella sponsored by Eve Roper 10/6/17
